Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
The course has a theoretical component of 32 contact hours and a theoretical-practical component of 32 contact hours. The theoretical component is prepared as exposition classes, where the syllabus is taught using slide projection (PowerPoint) and the board. Theoretical-practical classes are intended to deepen the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes and are designed, to solve and discuss a vast set of exercises contained in a Workbook designed and provided to students at the beginning of the course. In this course unit, the student will have an active role in the process of knowledge acquisition, as they will be asked to participate during classes for analysis and problem solving (Active-learning). The evaluation of this course consists of two written
